[Avodah] Yerushalmi editions

[Yisrael Dubitsky]

(Micha-If you deem this more appropriate for Areivim you may send it there,
on condiition that responses there be forwarded also to me)

I was wondering if any of the Yerushlami experts on this list have an
opinion on the fairly new one volume edition of the Yerushalmi by Ketuvim
press (it is about 6 months old; see here http://www.ketuvimalmog.com/ for
details), both in terms of its utility for the poshutte yid (non-academic,
non-super talmid hakham) -- ignoring for the moment the fact that it has
none of the commentaries -- and in comparison to the Academyah's one volume
edition. I think the indexes included are superb, but I have trouble with
the fact that they left out the standard or even non-standard (I know, I
know, that's why they left it out, since there really is no standard)
pagination, including only perek and halakhah references  (I think the
sugyot numbering is great but is certainly not traditional and this may
effect how, or if, laymen would use it at all). Is the print too small or
crowded to be useful?

I have been unable to find any serious reviews of the recent volume and
would appreciate any insight (critical or otherwise).
